Asking him not to call you 'sir' just makes him think you're a tit.
I've asked him to not call me sir four times now yet it's still "Hello Sir"
He sounds like C f**king 3PO

He's my equal, there's no need to show me any deference.
shouldnt even be allowed a vote..make him call you boss imo
thing, j. If you actually believed he was your equal, it wouldn't matter a damn to you what he called you. Your very insistence on not being called sir is, in fact, a monstrous act of condescension.
He calls you sir not because he thinks you're better than him (indeed, I'm fairly certain he thinks you're a prick), but because that's the form, it's how he's trained and because it maintains a polite and professional distance between you with which he's comfortable.
All the rest of it's going on in your head, not his.
I don't want to be called sir, I'm not comfortable with it. Of course, I've not told him not to call me it, I've asked him in a few indirect, polite and humorous ways.
on your kebab
